Weekday Classes

Formal silent sitting and walking practices are complemented by the systematic investigation of a meditative theme through presented material and discussion. Practice in daily life will be emphasized throughout. Thursday PM classes are designed for beginners (may be repeated); Wednesday PM classes are for ongoing students.

The next date for classes that will be open for registration is Feb. 21 Thursday Intro class, March 28 Thursday Intro Class, and April 4 for the Level II class. If interested please scroll down to the beginning date to register.

The 13 week series will explore how to use wise attitude, effort, and mindfulness to bridge the gap between daily life and formal practice. The teachings of the Burmese monk Sayadaw U Tejaniya in his book ‘When Awareness becomes Natural’ will be used as a frame for our inquiry. Each week we will be asked to read one chapter of the pithy book and apply it to our practice. The book is available on Amazon, and also as an Audible recording. Sayadaw's approach to mediation and honest sharings on his life’s journey will provide a unique window into the possibility that awareness in daily life can become natural and transformative.

This is a 13 week class from 1/9-4/10 (no class on 1/23). There are no drop-in classes.

Insight meditation is a time tested method of mind training that enables us to change our relationship to each moment’s experience, and thus our lives. In this five week series we will systematically explore how to calm and steady the mind and see with more clarity into our lives. As we strengthen this capacity we begin to move from suffering and reactivity to responsiveness, freshness and ease. We learn to touch and live in the mindful moment. Although this series is designed for beginners, all are welcome and students may choose to repeat this series as new material will be introduced each time.
